10 Connect UTP Camera UTP, short for Unshielded Twisted Pair, is a popular type of cables that is one of the most common medium in telecommunication industry. Installing the UTP module allows the DVR to supply power to and transmit images from any four distinctive UTP cameras through the UTP cables (CAT5). This leads to an economical and fast installation of surveillance. Some benefits are described as below: Cost Down on Wiring The cost of wiring decreases for more than 60% Save Time & Space Easy to install and it takes less space than coaxial cable. Cost Down on Camera Power Adapter There is no need to buy adapter for each UTP Color Box Camera because the power is directly supplied from the DVR unit. The Versatile H.264 DVR provides the option to connect UTP cameras. Follow the steps below to complete the UTP camera installation. Step 1: Connect the DVR and the UTP Camera via the UTP cable (CAT5). NOTE: The DVR should be powered OFF before the installation of the UTP Camera. Step 2: On the back panel of the DVR, switch the video source to ON (UTP). For instance, if a UTP Camera will be installed to channel 1, switch the video source 1 to ON. The correct setting is shown as below. Video Source Selection 10

11 Follow the same procedure if more UTP Cameras to CH2, CH3, or CH4 will be installed. NOTE: Do NOT insert both BNC and UTP video sources to the same channel simultaneously, or the video will not function correctly and it may cause the video to look like the figure below. For instance, if a UTP Camera is already installed to channel 1, do not install another camera to the BNC port of channel 1. Bad Video Output Step 3: Plug in the power adapter to the DVR, and the DVR will start to boot. The installation is complete. NOTE: The UTP Board provides power up to 5.5W. If the power consumption of the camera is more than 5.5W, the UTP Board will start beeping. NOTE: The length of each UTP cable should NOT exceed 300 meters (or 984 feet), or it may cause loss or weakening of signal. The following table shows performance at different distances.
